Q - When I begin distance running of any length I develop bruises on my toes.  It is a chronic situation and quite painful. I also will lose my toe nail on my large toe. Is there a way to prevent this from  occurring?

 Christine: One sure fired way is to prevent the foot from slipping forward  while in the shoe.  A smaller toe  box can do it and/or a less slippery sock may help.If that doesn’t work try toe gel caps and Vaseline petroleum jelly as a start. Lastly, visit your podiatrist to check to see if there is anything else going on that causes bruising due to your biomechanics when running. (Thanks Dr. Kaplan!)
